Answer:

In conclusion, we have:

17 protons

18 electrons

20 neutrons

Explanation:

Hello!

Let's solve this!

The atomic number indicates the number of protons that is equal to the number of electrons.

In this case, the number of protons is equal to 17.

The number of electrons is equal to 17.

To calculate the number of neutrons, we subtract the mass:

37-17 = 20.

Since the mass is equal to the number of neutrons plus that of protons.

In this case, the number of neutrons is 20.

As it has a charge -1, we add one more electron.

In conclusion, we have:

17 protons

18 electrons

20 neutrons

How does temperature affect pressure?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

D. As temperature increases, so does pressure.

Explanation:

As the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy increases, making the gas particles hit the walls of the container more (therefore increasing pressure). Hopefully this helps! Good luck :)
